[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm a dad of two girls. I understand the dynamics at play here. It's all fine and good to try to "empower" your daughters to stand up for themselves and counter unwanted male attention. Yes. But a 12 yo girl really doesn't possess the assertiveness yet to do this. [/quote]  Bullshit.  If you have done your job as a parent a 12 year old most certainly can have the assertiveness and skills to stand up for herself.[/quote]

... says the poster who doesn't have a 12-year-old girl.

My DD is plenty assertive and can stand up for herself just fine in most situations. However, [b]the case of being sexually assaulted in this manner[/b] would be nedaw, startling, and confusing to her. Your claim that I haven't "done my job as a parent" because she doesn't react according to some weird script you have in your head is offensive and rude.[/quote]

NP here.

[b]What that boy & his friends did was completely inappropriate but to overreact & call something like this sexual assault is dangerous as it makes it a lot harder for victims of actual sexual assault to be taken seriously[/b].It also makes it more likely that your DD will be needlessly traumatized but what would likely otherwise be something she'd find temporarily embarrassing & be upset about for a few days at most. And, yes, I have a 12-year-old DD.[/quote]

Yes, this! It was not "sexual assault." Good grief. [/quote]
